the detail. Here we see the motto of Lunari
is fulfilled: “More than one sees at first
sight” – because the rain protector combines
four functions. Firstly, it protects the
child, the saddle, it also serves as a waterproof
packaging for the seat as well as the
items transported on it, and detached from
the bicycle it can be worn as a classic rain
cape. Designed entirely according to customer
wishes, the Lucky Cape can also be
turned into a travelling billboard.
SUCCESS WITH “LUCKY CAPE”
It took until 2005, however, before this patented
product was ready for series production.
From then on the company with the
crescent moon in its logo gathered momentum.
First, the Lunari team tried to
market the rain protector through direct
sales to individual bike shops. With increasing
awareness the demand also increased.
The breakthrough came with a wholesaler
who supplies bicycle shops throughout
Germany. Yasmin von Schweinitz was able
to locate a reliable production partner - in-

itially in Poland and later in the Far East.
The final quality control and despatch of
the manufactured products made of highquality
materials, however, is still carried
out at headquarters.
ADD A TOUCH OF COLOUR TO LIFE
Until today, the Lunari portfolio has expanded
with some more imaginative multi-functional
products. The Color 4Life series
- as the name suggests - brings a little
colour and lightness to life. It consists
of a special rain poncho for the disabled,
designed for the wheelchair with many extras
and a walker frame protection for seniors.
Tie Fit is a scarf for sporty people,
which can also be used as a bottle holder
or turned into a sweat-absorbing cap in a
jiffy or turned into a handy belt with pouch.
Lunari also continued to think about the
cyclists. Flex123 is a stylish, connectable
and naturally waterproof saddle protector
which can also be used as a basket or as
a normal bag. Relatively new to the range
is the Flex1-2, a saddle protector which

serves either as a handlebar bag or as a
handy bag. All products can of course be
customized.
HARMONIOUS DUO
With increasing success, the original premises
became too small. In late summer 2011
the Lunari team moved into a new, spacious
office building near the old one. Here
is where the product samples are created,
and where Silvia and Yasmin von Schweinitz
work on new ideas and concepts. While
the mother appears as the creative mind,
the daughter, a graduate of psychology and
economics, takes care of marketing and
product sales. Both obviously pursue their
profession with a great deal of passion. In
the future Silvia and Yasmin von Schweinitz
want to remain faithful to their good intentions,
“to design innovative and highquality
products that help make life easier.”
Going by the qualities that have previously
shaped their company, they should
succeed in this, too: “With passion and
fun!” www.lunari.de <
